10" in the back requires a few things

about the biggest notch you can fit under the bed, not a little 2" one

Good shocks that are properly valved and the right length

Rims with a perfect offset and the right size tire

What do you have planned for the front? not sure if you can do much more than 5-6 and still drive it

the drop shackles and hangers will raise it back up with a flip kit.
